re: What’s the youngest age that a friend of yours retired?

I retired at 41 and made it until I was 43. Almost drove me insane. I went the frick back to work with the caveat that I had enough money to tell my customers to go frick themselves if I wanted to. It is far better to work when you can survive without the bastards than it is to do so when you need the work....

This, to me, is the key takeaway of this entire thread, though ive been aware of it for years- If you can go to work because you WANT to, and not because you HAVE to- then life is golden .
